1
Sober in the mornin' light
2
Things look so much different
3
To how they looked last night
4
A pale face pressed to an unmade bed
5
Like flags of many nations
6
Flyin' high above her head
7
The cellophane still on the flowers
8
The telegram still in her hand
9
As whispers circulate all day
10
Their back-stage baby princess passed away
11
And you can cage the songbird
12
But you can't make her sing
13
And you can trap the free bird
14
But you'll have to clip her wings
15
'Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies
16
But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies
17
Promises of no more lies
18
Fell flat upon an empty stage
19
Before the audience arrived
20
A return in time to the cheaper seats
21
She never knew what lay beneath
22
Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets
23
Let down before the final curtain
24
A shallow heart that left her cold
25
She left in rouge upon the mirror
26
A circled kiss oh, to the faithful fans who'd miss her
27
And you can cage the songbird
28
But you can't make her sing
29
And you can trap the free bird
30
But you'll have to clip her wings
31
'Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies
32
But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies
